They were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.I am so sorry, but he's dead." Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

Reminds me of one patient and a nightly ritual I had to do so they could put her to bed. An aide would call me at the shop to come get the snake out of the room again. So I would grab a box and a few nuts and bolts and head up to the patients room. I'd ask her where is it. She would point to an area and I'd walk to it. The aide would distract her a second while I tossed the nuts and bolts in the box and said OK I got him and rattle the box.
Another one involved the nurses. A patients TV smoked and the patient was a rather large woman they could not lift. My boss had responded to the alarm and they yelled for him to come to her room STAT. They were real panicked and said help us get her up and out of here. He said why not just roll her out of the room in her bed. They said because the bed is too wide. He said well it wasn't when we rolled in in here. These persons handled the medications. :>}
